Synopsis
Senju, a soul-saving Gate guardian, protects Hijiri, whose awakening powers threaten the world as dark Gates consume living souls.
In this world there exist spiritual pathways, called Gates that draw in the souls of the departed and move them to a new realm of existence. However, at times, a Black Gate appears, and the Black Gate does not wait for death... but instead forcefully sucks the souls out of living humans! Senju is a "Mitedamashi," an agent with the power to summon or seal Gates, and save people's souls. He is guardian to Hijiri, a boy whose life he once saved. After Hijiri discovers his own hidden powers, he begins a journey of self-discovery where the distant past comes back to haunt him and his choices determine life and death, not only for those he cares about, but the whole world!
